Lauren’s research and projects focus on behavioral and adaptive robotic fabrication; in particular, considering how sensor feedback, iterative computation, and robotic behaviors enable new types of production, and challenge conventional paradigms.

She has taught workshops in computation and robotic fabrication, and has done research in computational techniques for customisable fabrication processes at University of Michigan Taubman College FABLab as well as the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH-Zurich), Chair for Architecture and Digital Fabrication.

In previous years, Paradigm Shift has visited five cities from Auckland to Queenstown. But thanks to popular feedback, five additional cities have been added to the programme for 2018.

Wellington – 28 May

Nelson – 29 May

Christchurch – 30 May

Dunedin – 31 May
